Alice Cooper Calls Metal History ‘Louder Than Hell’ a ‘Must-Read’

Headbangers rejoice! An upcoming book promises to trace the entire history and development of heavy metal through first-person interviews with many of its most important performers -- including pioneering shock rocker Alice Cooper, who calls 'Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Heavy Metal' the "book every metal fan should own."

Culled from more than 300 interviews conducted over a period of 25 years by veteran rock journalists Jon Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman, 'Louder Than Hell' features an introduction by Scott Ian of Anthrax and an afterword by Judas Priest singer Rob Halford.
